Pages: 1 Gravol Ginger Tablets       #359091 - 06/05/10 05:05 PM Edit Reply Quote ArtKen Reged: 07/12/03 Posts: 301 Loc: Brantford, Ontario, Canada Essentially they are ginger tablets for nausea. Regular Gravol causes drowsiness. Does anyone take ginger talets on a daily basis for nausea conected with IBS either D or C?

My worry is that each capsule contains 500 mg of ground ginger which is essentially all insoluble fiber and they recommend you take 2 tablets at a time. One gram of insoluble fiber could be a problem especially on an empty stomach. The chewables contain aspartame - an artifical sweetener - so use with caution. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Gravol Ginger Tablets       #359096 - 06/06/10 02:32 PM Edit Reply Quote ArtKen Reged: 07/12/03 Posts: 301 Loc: Brantford, Ontario, Canada Well I am trying them at a low dosage, mainly to see how they are with nausea which I sometimes have with IBS. I have both IBS as well as diverticulosis and although symptoms are similar food tolerance is not.

On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages: "You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

One surprise to me is when I told doctor and his nurse he was not aware that Gravol made a gingerroot product. Gravol is a well known brand in Canada.

I wasn't aware of a Gravol gingerroot product until you made your post.
